Tamiya 49441 Aluminum Upright M-03 fitting question

Hi

I am trying to fit a pair of Tamiya 49441 Aluminum Upright to an M-03. I have noticed the M-03R Hop Up upright is not as high as the standard B9 upright part. Its about 2mm short. What I have noticed from the M-03R manual is the B1 part it fits into is slightly smaller. The only alternative I can see is to fit a 2mm spacer either top or bottom (too hard for my old hands). Has anyone else ever encountered this problem?

Also does anyone have a downloadable copy of the 49441 fitting manual as this may shed some light?

Thank you in advance.

M03 uses same upright as TL01.
The aluminium one seems way short fitting between the C-hub.

If you are looking for uprights with the steering arm fitted up high, the M05 uses that type. It also has same spacing between the C-hub as TL01. I know as I using M05 uprights on my shortned TL01 with Escort Mk2 body. I have a thread about it in the project section.
Aluminium one for the M05 are 54253.

Thanks for reply.

A member has said i need M-03M part number 51328 as they are smaller. Unfortunately a discontinued part.

So would the M-03R Upright fit directly into an M-05 c-cub with no other parts required?

Nope. The M05 C-hub has same size M03, aka TL01 size. So the M03R one still need spacers.

O.k thanks for confirming . 👍
